sudden jump in swap usage, how to tell what's using it

Typically, we sit between 0-10% of swap used... this morning I came in, and 
output of top is showing 76% used; that's some 3Gigs+ more than usual.

System load is still sitting at 0.05, and no adverse effects seem to be coming 
our way. No particular processes appear to be using abnormal amounts of memory, 
and nothing seems 'off'... is there a way to determine which process(es) have 
taken out (how much) swap space?
